Straddle the border on this walk of wonders. Offa’s engineers took a short cut to meet their King’s demands, marking the mineral wealth of Llanymynech as Mercian by building on the ramparts of a much earlier and massive Iron Age fort. The Romans were first to mine here, pre-dating Offa’s engineers by some margin. But Victorian engineering surpassed them all, cutting these steep cliffs and building canals and railways to remove their spoils.

This walk takes you on a circular route which links the towpath with celebrated footpaths in this area. Head north along the
Montgomery canal from Arddleen to Four Crosses. Here, join the Offa’s Dyke path, heading south through open farmland
to join the Severn Way. Rejoin the canal towpath at Pool Quay and pass by Burgedin Locks before entering Arddleen.

• Full walk 11.5 miles / 18.5km
• Shorter walk via Pool Quay : 7.5 miles / 12km
• Shorter walk via Four Crosses : 7 miles / 11.2km

Yn eira’r gaeaf, byddai’r orsedd gerrig yn Candy Woods yn fwy cartrefol yn Narnia nac yn Swydd Amwythig. Ond mae’r tir hwn yr un mor epig â byd ffantasi C. S. Lewis.  Nododd Clawdd Offa’r ffin â Chymru, a reolwyd yn ddiweddarach gan arglwyddi Normanaidd y Mers a adeiladodd ar ei hyd gestyll mor nerthol â Cair Paravel. Ac fe wnaeth John ‘Mad Jack’ Mytton, a gollodd ei etifeddiaeth trwy gamblo, farchogaeth arth i swper yma un tro. Fe wnaeth hefyd enwi ei fab yn Euphrates ar ôl ei hoff geffyl rasio. A wnaeth Gwrach o Frenhines rewi pennau’r ceffylau?

In winter’s snow the stone-throne in Candy Woods would be more at home in Narnia than Shropshire. But this land is as epic as Lewis’ fantasy. Offa’s Dyke marked out a border with Wales, later controlled by the Norman ‘Marcher Lords’ who built castles along it as mighty as Cair Paravel. And Mad Jack Mytton, who gambled away his inheritance here, once rode a bear into dinner and named his son Euphrates after his favourite racehorse. Did a Witch Queen freeze the horses’ heads?

The route takes you through Lymore estate and onto a section of the Offa's Dyke Path.

Dylai’r enw Newcastle on Clun ddweud y cyfan sydd angen ei wybod am y dyffryn hwn. Mae llaw orchfygol yr arglwyddi Normanaidd a reolai’r coridor hwn i mewn i berfeddwlad Cymru yn amlwg. Ond beth am Offa? Roedd y Clawdd bygythiol ar draws y Clun yn nodi ei fwriadau tiriogaethol; Fi yw brenin Mercia, peidiwch â’m herio i. Efallai bod ffermio yn y dyffryn wedi dileu croesfan y clawdd, ond mae tomen  y Fron wedi goroesi. Mae ei wreiddiau'n dyddio’n ôl i gyfnod mwy na mil o flynyddoedd cyn Offa hyd yn oed. Gweler y PDF ar gyfer llwybrau byrrach

The name ‘Newcastle on Clun’ should tell you all you need to know about this valley. The conquering hand of the Norman overlords controlling this corridor into the Welsh heartland is clear. But what of Offa? The intimidating Dyke across the Clun marked his territorial intentions. ‘I am King of Mercia, do not

defy me,’ it said. Farming in the valley may have erased the Earthwork’s crossing, but Fron Motte has stood the test of time. Its roots pre-date even Offa by more than a thousand years.

Byddwch yn croesi’r ffin ar y daith ryfeddodol hon. Aeth peirianwyr Offa y ffordd fyrraf er mwyn bodloni gofynion eu Brenin, gan nodi cyfoeth mwynau Llanymynech fel cyfoeth Mersia trwy adeiladu ar ragfuriau caer llawer cynharach ac enfawr o Oes yr Haearn. Y Rhufeiniaid oedd y cyntaf i gloddio yma, gryn dipyn o flaen peirianwyr Offa. Ond roedd peirianneg Oes Fictoria'n well na'r un ohonynt, gan dorri'r clogwyni serth ac adeiladu camlesi a rheilffyrdd i gludo’r mineralau oddi yno. 

Taith gerdded linol, gymhedrol sy’n 5.5 milltir o hyd. Mae un ddringfa galed i fyny i Gefn Hergest, sy’n fyw o chwedloniaeth a sydd â golygfeydd gwych oddi yno. Caniatewch 3 awr.

Ty Mawr Country Park

Ty Mawr Country Park lies on the banks of the River Dee in the beautiful Vale of Llangollen, part of the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area out Outstanding Natural Beauty.

Ty Mawr has all the fun of the farm in a magnificent setting beneath the arches of the Cefn Viaduct. There are lots of animals you can meet at Ty Mawr such as donkeys, pigs, and goats. You can even feed our free range chickens and ducks or admire Carlos and Pedro the Llamas, who guard our sheep from foxes!

At Ty Mawr we do not use chemicals and pesticides on the land. That is why we have many species of wild plants and animals and in the summer our traditional hay meadows are full of colour. Why not take a gentle stroll down to the river, sit and relax and see if you can spot a salmon jumping!

Picturesquely situated beneath the dramatic Cefn Viaduct on the banks of the River Dee, Ty Mawr provides some of the best scenery around.

Whether it is to admire the view, to see the farm animals or to take a walk, you could bring a picnic and have a great family day out at Ty Mawr Country Park.

Walks around Ty Mawr

Why not take a longer walk along the riverside to the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct - recently designated a world heritage site - along the Cefn Heritage Trail or link up with the Offas Dyke National Trail?
